ETHICS ISSUE 2: The American Dental Association's Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct states: "According to the principle of beneficence, dentists have a duty to promote and advance the patient's welfare."
A dentist mistakenly removes three healthy teeth from a patient's mouth, then fits the patient with a fixed bridge that will not stay in place and causes the patient great pain. The patient sees a second dentist who repairs the damage done by the first dentist and remarks about the "shoddy quality" of the first dentist's work. The patient sues the first dentist for medical malpractice, and the defendant is found not guilty.
Was the second dentist acting ethically when she criticized the first dentist's work? Explain your answer.
